abstract

In the current version of QCD the quarks are described by ordinary Dirac fields, organized in the following internal symmetry multiplets: the $SU(3)$ colour, the $SU(2)$ flavour, and broken $SU(3)$ providing the family triplets. \noindent In this paper we argue that internal and external (i.e. space-time) symmetries are entangled at least in the colour sector in order to introduce the spinorial quark fields in a way providing all the internal quark's degrees of freedom which do appear in the Standard Model. Because the $SU(3)$ colour algebra is endowed with natural $Z_3$-graded discrete automorphisms, in order to introduce entanglement the $Z_3$-graded version of Lorentz and Poincar\'e algebras with their realizations are considered. The colour multiplets of quarks are described by $12$-component colour Dirac equations, with a $Z_3$-graded triplet of masses (one real and a Lee-Wick complex conjugate pair). We argue that all quarks in the Standard Model can be described by the $72$-component master quark sextet of $12$-component coloured Dirac fields.

    A Z3-symmetric 12-component Dirac equation with complex colour masses is proposed to make single quarks damp out, with only cubic combinations propagating.
